Sigh. You're clearly deranged. Let me try to explain it to a moron like you.
A human needs shelter or food or water. Let us go with a bottle of water in NYC. It costs $2 USD.
If a bitcoin gives you $100,000 USD, you can purchase 50,000 bottles of water. If a bitcoin gives you $1 USD, you can purchase 1/2 a bottle of water.
Do you understand now why the fiat value of bitcoin matters? It is because 99.9% of transactions occur over fiat rails so we determine the purchase power of bitcoin by looking at its conversion value to fiat.
It is pretty simple. So simple that it seems you must be arguing just for the sake of arguing. Or you're retarded?
Purchasing power of a money is one of its most important qualities.
If you don't understand that, you were dropped on your head one too many times as a child.
What does it have to do with bitcoin? Well, gold has added an entire bitcoin worth of market cap to its value yesterday. Meaning, the marketplace/investors have decided that gold is worth a fuckload more than they think bitcoin is worth. That means something, no?
Just yesterday, the dollar lost 5% of its value against gold, and bitcoin just lost 3% of its value against the dollar
Can I ask you a follow up here?
How important do you think physical/sexual attraction is in a relationship? We have since met in person a few times and while I don't find her ugly, I do not find myself very attracted to her.
We've been physical a few times and it was OK, not great. I don't feel a strong desire to even kiss her for example, she usually initiates physical contact/activity.
It is quite strange, but I actually think I like her more when we are apart and speak on the phone. We can speak for hours about anything and everything. But I don't have a yearning to see her or be with her in person.
The thought of "breaking up" with her is challenging because I am not the most social person and she has filled a large gap I feel like I've had in my life the last handful of years.
Perhaps I just need friends to help fill that gap and then need to find a partner I'm more excited about?
Think this is why we still have so much white angst here in the deep south.
There were slaves and subsequently lowly paid servants maintaining that life which all went away in the last handful of decades.
Agreed. Purchasing power is telling you that we are not winning.
This seems to tell the entire story of what people have decided is valuable to them:
Marketcap added in the last 5 years
Gold: +$22.5 trillion
Silver: +$4.9 trillion
Bitcoin: +$1.1 trillion
